Hello,
H pylori is a bacteria.
It is present in more than 70 % of the population.
It is transmitted through the oral route.
It mostly infects the antrum of the stomach(upper part).
It is attributed to cause gastritis, gastric ulcer and gastric carcinoma.
A course of antibiotics and Proton Pump inhibitors are prescribed for treatment.
